Okay, all. I want to clear up one piece of info I sent in the pm to some of you. I told you that the siyahs were both epoxied and pinned with a flush-cut screw, and that that made nervous. Well, read this recent post by SiegWorks, who is currently making some horsebows for a TV series. Looks like that just might be the best way to go afterall. He had this to say:

the siyahs made me nervous, even though i braced it and drew it before doing anything.
SiegeWorks' response:
That was one thing that scared the heck outta me when i first started building these type of bows. I have seen a 50# throw a tip THROUGH a tin wall of a shed and go about 30 feet. I personally had a 60# blow both tips off at full draw cutting the top of my left hand. One of the tips landed about 100 feet away the other we never found. If the tips are not pinned (if you got the bow from atilla they are pinned) pin them AND wrap them!!! Some cheap insurance in doing that.
Hope this helps!
